- the ideal of imaginative sympathy or the ability to see into others minds & emotions. Narrated by an egoccentric morbid young clairvoyant man whose fascination for Bertha Grant lies partly in her obliquity the story also explores fictions ability to offer insight into the self as well as being a remarkable portrait of a misdeveloped artist whose visionary powers merely blight his life. The Lifted Veil is now one of the most widely read & critically discussed of Eliots works. Published as a companion piece to The Lifted Veil Brother Jacob is by contrast Eliots literary homage to Thackeray a satirical modern fable that draws telling parallels between eating & reading.

Jimmy Page was the leader mastermind guitarist & producer of Led Zeppelin described by Rolling Stone" magazine as "the biggest band of the seventies" & "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history." While there is no shortage of written material out there on Led Zeppelin's legacy none of the band members have ever written a tell-all book or co-operated with the press or a biographer.

Over the last twenty years Brad Tolinski editor-in-chief of " Guitar World" magazine has interviewed Page more than any other journalist in the world & by asking incisive questions he's been able to gain the trust of this greatly misunderstood artist.
